- Abstract
Current qualitative, transversal and analytic study corelates physical and psychological symptoms of stress phases identified in relatives of hospitalized patients in ITUs in a general hospital in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The samples comprised 22 relatives. A socio-demographic form and the Stress Symptoms Inventory were employed for data collection. Data show that 45.5% of participants in research were in the final phase and 40.9% in the intermediate phase. There was a statistically significant co-relationship between the number of physiological and psychological symptoms in the different phases. Acknowledgement of exhaustion in relatives of patients in ITUs by nurses is important, coupled to adequate coping strategies. These include welcome, instrumentalization, guidance and help to relatives during the period.
